Who Shouldn’t Get the Chickenpox Vaccine?

There are people who should not get the chickenpox vaccine. Here are some factors that require you to not get the vaccine:

  • If you are pregnant or suspect pregnancy
  • If you are allergic to the vaccine or to any part of the vaccine.
  • If you have tuberculosis [7]
  • Have problems with your immune system.
  • If you recently had blood transfusion or any other live vaccines
  • If you aren’t feeling well. (Get the vaccine when you feel better.)

Talk with your healthcare provider about whether or not you should be vaccinated.
